Nguyen Doubles Through Deeb

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Shaun Deeb continued to put pressure on his opponents and pulled away further before a four-way pot emerged. Deeb had raised to 400,000 first to act and picked up calls by James Calderaro on the button, Ben Yu in the small blind and Scotty Nguyen in the big blind. The flop of {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} was checked to Deeb and he bet 750,000. That got rid of Calderaro and Yu, but Nguyen check-raised all in.

Deeb asked for a count and made the call once it was determined to be for 1,620,000 on top of Deeb's bet.

Scotty Nguyen: {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Shaun Deeb: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn gave Deeb one more out as he hit the inferior set along with his straight draw, however, the {10-Spades} on the river was a blank to let Nguyen double and jump back into second place.
